Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 64

Days went by and Amilia definitely felt better. She kind of found her own way to get down the blood, mixing it into a smoothie or sticking it on top of ice cream. Now, he didn't always bring her blood from a cow- sometimes it was chicken and others it was fish. Junior doesn't believe in killing, so he actually has a little farm of his own that he tends over. He makes sure the animals are well fed and taken good care of. And when it comes time to get the blood, he makes sure they don't feel any pain while he withdraws it. Then he keeps track of how the animal is doing until he can confidently say that their blood has been replenished. Amilia was her usual self, she could walk, run, talk, she wasn't cold anymore. Though she did feel more like a vampire. She felt stronger and got sunburn easier. It was the weekend and she was kind of goofing off, watching a bit of TV on her 'lazy' Saturday. And at about noon Jkdek came rushing up to the house.

"Amilia!" He said banging on the glass screen door. Amilia looked over at him and then scrambled onto the floor. She got up from the floor and opened the sliding glass doors.

"It was open, you know."

"I have not a clue how your human contraptions work." He said out of breath.

"Jkdek, did I- What are you doing here?"

"It's Unora, she attacked."

"What do you mean?" Amilia said looking at him something wicked.

"One of our outposts, she overtook it."

"How do you know?"

"There was a different flag, her flag." Amilia and Oglm followed Jkdek to the Market. All the shops were shut down and boarded up. Those who could were evacuated.

"It's like a ghost town."

"Well, yes, but I'd rather be safe than sorry." They followed him to the middle of town, where the rest of the council was. The army was posted around the whole Market with only the royal guard of each nation in the middle of the Market with them.

"You are all here." Amilia said in amazement.

"But of course, where else would we be?"

"I- I thought since the Market isn't your home bases and all- well, you yourselves wouldn't be here."

"We would never abandon one another." Amilia smiled and soon after a loud boom went off. The remaining citizens hunkered down in their homes and Cristel grabbed onto Amilia. Oglm stood still as he waited in silence for whatever was coming next.

"Shall we go confront them?" Jkdek asked the group. The many princes drew their swords and the princesses drew their ceptars in agreement.

"For the Market!" The group said together. They proceeded together up to where the council army was attempting to hold the line. It wasn't working very well, that was for sure, but nobody ever said it would. Especially with some of the most powerful people leading the brigade. At the front of the line were Nsefen and her father, Yxeyhzfkx. Their eyes seemed to glow something powerful, a nice bright purple color, no iris in sight. You could hear them talking, but you knew they just weren't themselves. The army easily advanced, as they were enhanced by Unora somehow. Yet, they couldn't see Unora, as if she wasn't there at all. But Amilia knew she was, because somebody kept shooting purple cannonball-like blasts in their direction. It didn't take long for them to get pushed back, only Jkdek, Amilia, Cristel, and Oglm remained. Jkdek told the princes and princesses to return home to prepare in case their own home kingdoms got hit. Jkdek still had the aid of the council army and some of the others lended part of their supply to him. More 'bombs' seemed to sound and ducking behind a building with them were all her favorite friends. Akxfo, Beath, Cam, Ikhher, Vkmdndbg, and the people from Amilia's council. Soon enough the hiding was over and they charged the army head on. They actually did very well, of course everyone was really trained since they were young, that was, except for Amilia. But she was doing very well too. Oglm and Cristel stayed by Amilia's side, helping her all the while. And eventually two special sombodies diverged on Amilia's location. Yxeyhzfkx and Nsefen were no walk in the park to handle, they were very strong and those two people were coming to confront them. They paused in front of them before they did anything. Yxeyhzfkx held out his hand and started to speak.
